Izuku stood outside Battle centre B, not knowing of the conversation going on at that very moment.

___________________________________

All Might burst through the door of the observation room.

"Principle Nezu, I have incredible news!" He said.

Nezu turned to him. It must be serious, if he hadn't even said 'I am here.'

"What is it Yagi? You can turn back, there are no prying eyes here."

All Might chuckled.

"I don't need to." He said.

Every hero in the room turned to face the number one hero.

"What do you mean?" Nezu asked curiously.

All Might sat gingerly on a chair too small for him.

"I met a boy, around ten months ago. His name is Izuku Midoriya, he's taking today's hero course exam. He was able to heal me." All Might said.

The hero's eyes widened collectively. Nezu turned sharply to the hero.

"That's impossible." He said.

All Might shook his head.

"He really did. I told him it was old, scarred and already healed, but he just smirked at me! He summoned this.. golden glove. The glove had six gems on it, all in different colours. He used the red and the green one to heal my injury!"

Nezu frowned, typing on his tablet.

"Izuku Midoriya. Quirk: tool bond. He summoned a weapon or tool of some kind at four years old, and it became bonded to him. He can only use that weapon or tool, and can summon it whenever he chooses. A rather powerful quirk, if used correctly." He surmised.

"That description of the glove sounds vaguely familiar.." Aizawa said.

All Might thought for a moment.

"I think he was quoting something, but he said this before he healed me. 'Time and Space. The fabric of Reality itself. The unbridled Power of the cosmos. The Minds and Souls of the living beings within. They all bend before the Infinity Gauntlet's might!'"

Nezu spit out his tea.

"HE SUMMONED THE INFINITY GAUNTLET WHEN HE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD???" Aizawa yelled in shock.

"Perhaps he was a fan of the old Marvel comics, and his quirk triggered by mistake while he was reading one. Young Midoriya is currently the most powerful being on the planet, no, the cosmos." Nezu speculated.

Present Mic frowned.

"What's the Infinity Gauntlet?" He asked.

The rest of the staff turned to Aizawa. The hero just sighed.

"The Infinity Gauntlet is a weapon.. no, a tool from a very old comic series. The villain is the one in possession of this gauntlet, and Time, Space, Reality, the Souls and Minds of others and the unbridled Power of the cosmos bend at his whim. If Midoriya really has the Infinity Gauntlet.. Jesus Christ." He said.

"How the hell did the heroes beat this villain?" Midnight asked.

Nezu shook his head.

"They didn't. The villain was defeated by his own arrogance, he believed he was unstoppable. Without Asgardian gods to aid us.. Midoriya probably is unstoppable." He said.

Present Mic stood up from his seat.

"I'd better go start the exam.."

_________________________________

Izuku summoned the gauntlet. He wasn't afraid of it being recognised, Marvel went out of business about 100 years ago. Nobody was interested in the old comic book heroes, they wanted to see the new, real life ones.

Only the older generations had a slim chance of recognising it. There might be a teacher who knew, but it didn't matter.

If they knew what it was, than they knew what it could do.

Present Mic approached the testing area, on top of the wall, right above the door.

"START!!" He screeched.

Izuku warped into the testing site.

He came across a robot, the Reality Stone glowing a deep red. The robot became tissue paper, collapsing in on itself.

The next robot became a torrent of bubbles.

The next turned to stone, the one after that to sand.

Izuku took on an army with only the Reality Stone's might. About eight minutes into the fight a rumble shook the city.

Izuku's eyes widened at the massive robot bearing down on him. That's the zero pointer? He'd need more than just the Reality Stone to deal with this..

Izuku ran forwards, fighting the crowd of examinees running away from the robot.

Eventually, he broke out through the crowd, and spotted the onee girl left behind by everyone else.

Some heroes they were.

Izuku activated the deep purple Power Stone, blasting the Zero Pointer with a ray of pure energy. It stopped in its tracks, meters from where the girl lay.

"AND WITH THAT THE EXAM.. IS.. OVERRR!!!" Present Mic announced.

Izuku turned around. Everyone had already run away. Good. He didn't want just anyone knowing he could manipulate time.

Izuku turned back to the deviation, and raised his fist, activating the light green Time Stone's full power.

Rubble jumped off the ground, reattaching itself to the crumbled buildings. The Zero Pointer was repaired, but remained inactive.

The pavement fixed itself, the buildings were pristine. Izuku grunted in exertion, concentrating on the girl's timeline.

He pushed it back by five minutes. She would remember most of the exam, but not getting crushed by debris.

Izuku sighed, letting the gauntlet vanish. He wiped the blood from his nose and turned around to walk away.

"Good morning Mr Midoriya. We would like to speak to you concerning your quirk." Principal Nezu said.

Izuku sighed.

"I considered the fact someone would recognise the gauntlet.." he said.

"But you did not expect us to be so forward about it?" Nezu finished.

Izuku nodded.

"Well, you healed All Might's injury. Something that I had deemed impossible. You are also in possession of the greatest fictional weapon of all time. Well, not so fictional anymore at least."

Izuku followed the small animal, talking with him. A team of medical bots took the still unconscious girl away.

"How did you know I healed All Might?" He asked.

"He told me himself. He is going to be teaching here, so imagine my shock when he tells me he is no longer hindered in hero work. He said you used the red and green stones. Reality and Time, correct?" He asked.

"That's right. I can focus on a specific point, and I just rewound that portion of All Might's body into its former condition." He confirmed.

Nezu opened the door into a meeting room. It was full of popular heroes, including All Might.

"Young Midoriya, it's good to see you again!" All Might boomed.

Izuku smiled at the hero.

"How has your side been All Might? Is it giving you any trouble? I've never healed an injury of that caliber before. Or from so long ago." He said.

The hero laughed, patting where his scar once was.

"I'm in perfect condition, thank you!" He replied.

There were quite a few heroes sat at the table. Present Mic, Midnight, Ectoplasm, Powerloader, Snipe, Thirteen, Lunch Rush, Cementoss, Hound Dog, Vlad King and another hero Izuku thought was vaguely familiar.

"Can I ask who it was that recognised my gauntlet?" Izuku asked the heroes.

They all looked to the unknown man, who was dressed all in black and had long, scraggly hair.

"I read the comics when I was a kid." He said.

Izuku grinned.

"You have excellent taste." He complimented.

The man nodded, glancing down momentarily at Izuku's ungloved left arm.

Nezu interrupted the oncoming nerd out with a cough.

"Midoriya, would you like to sit down?" He asked.

Izuku took the seat beside All Might and opposite his new best friend.

"Now, what can you tell us about your stupendously powerful quirk?" Nezu asked.

Izuku grinned, while the scruffy man's eyes glinted in a familiar way. He was a fanboy, just like Izuku.

The greenette summoned the gauntlet, resting his arm on the table.

"I can summon the gauntlet at will. I can take it off if I want, but there isn't much need to. I have all 6 of the infinity stones. They give me the power to control Space, Time, all of Reality, the Souls and Minds of every living thing and the harnessed energy of the cosmos as pure Power." He started.

Nezu's eyes were gleaming, while the rest of the heroes were shocked.

Izuku pulled a pencil from his pocket, and the Reality Stone glowed red.

The greenette offered the apple to the scruffy guy.

"Take a bite?" He asked.

The fanboy took the apple and bit into it. His eyes widened.

"It's an actual apple.." he muttered around the bite of apple.

The Time Stone glowed green, and the apple became whole again, the bite taken out of it returned.

The hero swallowed the bit he'd bitten off, staring at the now whole apple.

"Incredible.." Nezu muttered.

"I have a certain proficiency with each of the stones. Ever since I got the gauntlet last year my body has been accumulating to the power I surge through it. I can use the Time, Space and Reality Stones at 100 percent proficiency individually. The Power Stone is incredibly potent, so I can only use 50 percent right now without hurting myself. The Soul Stone doesn't have a proficiency. It's more passive than the others, but I can just use it however I think of without strain. The Mind Stone is also only at 50 percent because I haven't been able to train it. I need other people for that." Izuku continued.

"I assume you haven't tried a Snap yet?" Izuku's new friend asked.

Izuku snorted.

"Of course not, what do you think I am, an idiot? I'd be insane to try and get away with a cosmic shift unscathed!" He said.

Present Mic sighed dramatically.

"For the rest of us un-nerds, please explain Shota..." he begged the shabby hero.

The man sighed.

"The Snap is the Villain's goal in the Infinity Gauntlet comic. Once he gets all of the Infinity Stones he can snap his fingers and do anything. Whatever he thinks the moment he snaps, it happens. He wishes to wipe out half of the universe's population to impress Lady Death, who's actually in love with a human man, Wade Wilson." He explained.

"The Merc with a mouth!" Izuku and the man said simultaneously.

"So.. if Midoriya wanted to wipe out half the population..." All Might began.

"He could do it right now with a snap of his fingers. He isn't restricted by death though. He could make it rain in deserts, make crops grow strong, crack the sun in two, obliterate all quirks, whatever the hell he thinks of when he snaps his fingers, it happens." The man said.

"It would greatly damage my body though." Izuku explained. "I'd need to gain 100 percent proficiency with all the stones individually, then using them in pairs, then threes, fours, fives and finally all of them together, simultaneously."

"How long do you estimate you'll reach that point?" Nezu asked.

Izuku hummed for a moment.

"I got 100 percent on half the stones in a year.. and my body passively grows more used to them anyway.. so I'd say another year at most."

All Might ran his hands down his face.

"A year until you become God." He said.

Izuku frowned.

"I don't want to be a God. I just want to be a hero. That's what's confused me actually. You know how in stories, the villains are corrupted by power, and they become greedy and evil? I.. haven't had that. I'm still me, so I don't think the whole 'power goes straight to your head' is completely correct." Izuku said.

The heroes collectively sighed in relief.

"Well, there is no doubt to whether you passed the exam. I look forward to seeing you in the hero course next month. Thank you for indulging me with this meeting Midoriya."

Izuku stood up, smiling at the principal.

"It's no trouble Principal Nezu, I'm happy to help. I should probably be getting home. Goodbye!"

The Space Stone glowed light blue, and Izuku stepped back into the portal he created. The tear in Space sealed itself back up in an instant.

The scruffy hero was shaking in his seat.

*That is SO fucking cool.*
